RUD Sprocket

RUD sprocket is a heavy duty sprocket engineered for long life and chain drives in demanding industrial conveyors. Designed for double strand conveyors, the sprocket features inner and outer segments with precision tooth profiles that prevent derailing and provide a pushing effect to the chain. Extra deep case hardening and induction hardened teeth flanks deliver superior wear resistance and fatigue strength while reducing costs. Maintenance friendly features include a pilot bore hub or a finished bore supplied to customer shaft dimensions. By avoiding chain fouling and supporting tension free chains, this chain sprocket drive improves uptime and extends chain life.

How does the RUD Sprocket work?

RUD sprockets are engineered components that transmit drive power through positive engagement with the chain. The tooth flanks are precision profiled and induction hardened to resist wear and fatigue, which increases the life of both sprocket and chain. Extra deep case hardening strengthens the working surface and reduces wear in abrasive conditions. For double strand conveyors RUD offers a segmented inner and outer design that prevents chain derailing and provides a pushing effect to maintain chain alignment. The hub can be supplied with a pilot bore or finished bore to match shaft dimensions, simplifying installation and retrofit of existing chain drives.

Industry Applications

• Bulk material conveyors and double strand conveyor systems in power plants and ash handling lines.
• Heavy industry conveyors in steel, mining and cement plants where wear resistance and chain life matter.
• Ports, terminals and bulk terminals that run continuous chain drives in abrasive environments.
• Manufacturing and processing lines that need a reliable chain sprocket drive to reduce downtime and maintenance.

The RUD India Advantage

RUD India supplies sprockets manufactured to strict material and heat treatment standards for predictable service life. Our heavy duty sprocket options use tested induction hardening and case hardening processes to lower lifecycle costs. We provide pilot bore hubs as standard and can deliver finished bores to customer shaft dimensions for ready fitment. RUD’s engineering support helps select the correct chain sprocket profile and segmentation for your conveyor so the component prevents fouling and protects the chain. Local spares, retrofit assistance and field support ensure fast replacement and minimal downtime for your chain drives.

Conclusion

The RUD sprocket family delivers a robust, maintenance friendly solution for demanding chain drives. With induction hardened teeth, extra deep case hardening and specially designed segmented profiles for double strand conveyors, RUD sprockets prevent derailing, reduce wear and improve the overall performance of the conveyor. For a heavy duty sprocket or chain sprocket drive that extends chain life and reduces ownership cost, contact RUD India to specify the correct sprocket profile and bore for your application.

Advantages of upgraded design:

• Extra deep case hardening for high wear resistance and extra life.
